The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-09-07


Monday with an unusually large at.
tendance Several outside scholars
will attend this term as a result of the
efficiency Of our corps of teachers, and
the favorable advantages afforded by
our fine school building.
Mrs. j. B. Mechling, of Butler,
Pa, who is pleasantly remembered by
many of our townspeople as a former
resident, stopped a few hours with
friends in town yesterday, being on her
way home from q visit north of here.
She was accompanied by her son
James.
Our fashionable ladies were talk.
ing a great deal last season about
"The Elephant Grey" That it was
the "prettiest COLOR" 1.-The handsomest
tint" "the very best style" &c. Now
they say, that for cold, the best cure
is one bottle Of DR.. Bulls Cough Syr.
up,-snd the ladies know.
Mr.. Ed. B. Freeman, of Nor.
folk, Va, paid Tionesta a few hours
visit on Saturday afternoon last. He
had time to shake hands with ouly
few of his old friends while here, but
all we've pleased to meet him and note
his old time geniality. Sorry we were
absent when he called at the REPUB.
LIcAN office.
The many friends of DR.. aud Mrs.
S. S. fowler will be panied to learn of
the death of bright little boy on the
I'd inst, proper notice of which ap.
pears elsewhere 10 this issue. The
sympathy of a tender.hearted people
does much to alleviate the paugs of
such an afiiiction, and that we can as
sure the stricken parents, they have.
The Tionesta township school
board will meet at T. F. Ritchey's
Office on Saturday afternoon, next, for
the purpose of electing teachers for
the ensuing year, and the letting of
contracts for repairing buildings and
furnishing coal for the different schools
throughout the township. All inter.
ested should make a note of the date
AS showing the efficiency of an
advertisement in the REPUBLICAN. A
friend of Mr.. j. H. DiDgman's lost a
valuable bracelet, and he posted a
snowy notice at the entrance to the
post Office, the most conspicuous place
in town, but still no response. The
next day our paper appeared with u
notice of the loss, and Mr.. DingmAn
walked down TO the M. e. Church,
and after a very few moments search
picked up the missing article. Who
will say now that advertising does not
pay.
Some weeks ago we mentioned,
with considerable regret, the depart.
ure of Mr.. Isaac Long, for Kansas
We now have the pleasure of noting
his return to this country, he having
purchased the mercantile interest OF
j. G. Bowman, at Newmanville, and
become a comparatively near neigh
Dor. Mr.. Long was we'll pleased with
the business outlook Of Kansas, but
those terrible zephyrs we're too muct
for Mrs. Long, hence the return to the
protective hills of the old Keystone
where Mr.. L. will proceed to "grow
up with the country"
The failure of G. w. wilkins,
an extensive lumber buyer and boat
builder, whose yard is located at Pine
Greek, five miles above Kittanuing, OF
the Allegheny River, was announced
last week. Wilkins is we'll known tC
most Of our lumbermen, many o
whom have done a large business with
him. In a partial list of creditors
published in the Pittsburgh papers
we observe the following: Dickey
Darrah & Co., s11 900; Judge Cook
$2,500; Collins & Haskell, $4,000
c. Leeper & Co, $4,000. The total
amount of his liabilities is placed a
$4,000, with $4,000 of assets, bu
those in a position to know say tina
the liabilities will amount to neare
100000. The failure was a complet
surprise to every body, as wilkins wa
supposed to be solid, and as he wa
doing comparatively safe business
his creditors are at a loss to know
what has become OF the property
When last heard of wilkins was il
Toronto, Canada. The lumbermen O
Clarion, Forest and Jefferson countie
will be the heaviest losers. He ha
